Ranger Guided Hike to Marching Bears, Effigy Mounds National Monument
Join us for a moderately-strenuous four-mile guided hike to the remarkable Marching Bears Mound Group in the south unit of the park.
Please note the trail to Marching Bears quickly gains 350 feet on a loose gravel path before leveling off on a mowed path in the woods. The hike should take approximately two and half to three hours to complete. Visitors should wear sturdy hiking shoes, bring hiking poles, bug spray, trail lunch, and water.
The trail access is to Marching Bears is located across the railroad tracks off Highway 76, 1/4 mile south of the headquarters of Effigy Mounds National Monument.
